In New QUARTERs.-Mr. John
+. Consigny has been .busily en-
gagged this week in transferring his
grocery stock from the old stand to
the new and neatly fitted room in
the rink building. The new room
is spacious, well furnished, and is
credit to our city. There are none
neater.
President Howald and Secretary
Freeman, Of the Fair Association,
inform us that Messrs. Gleason and
VanGorder are taking hold of the
floral hall project and getting plans
near perfection, They will put up
a building that will be an ornament
to the site. May the good work
prosper, say we.
The Sioux City Jonrnalsays that
a corps OF surveyors recently left this
place to survey an extension Of the
Rock Island road to that city. 1t is
doubtless canard, as the surveyors
have not been seen in this locality.
The Milwaukee and Northwestern
companies have monopoly on that
territory which it is quite probable
the Rock Island has no disposition
to disturb.

rectlon OF Supt. Willcutt, with Supt.
Frost and Profs. Crawford and
Brinkerhof as instructors. This
very efficient corps gives assurance
that the institute will be interesting
and profitable to all who attend.

their appreciation of the superior
advantages afforded by liberal
attendance.
The stubblc field OF John 6.
Davis, one mile east OF town, caught
fire last Saturday, and before it could
be brought under control, some
twenty-five shocks OF oats were to-
tally destroyed. 1t is presumed that
the fire was caught from cigar
stub thrown carelessly in the field.
However, were we disposed to spin
yarn appropriate to the season, it
might be said that the fire caught
from a red hot flake which accident.
ally fell from wire on the fence.
MI, John Killroy, who for over
year has held the situation of OPP
orator at the Northwestern station,
will conclude his labors here this
week, and return to his home at
Sterling, Ills, for q much needed
rest. Mr.. killroy is thorough
gentleman in every capacity of life,
and has made many friends during
his residence here who will wish
that he may be soon blessed with
returning health and strength to re-
engage in his chosen calling, Mr..
M. @. Feltus will succeed him here.
Several manufacturers OF toilet
soap have written to Mr.. o. =.
Waitman asking for a testimonial as
to the merits Of the article Of their
respective manufacture, each mail
ing trial bar. But it has all proven
failure. He has found that the
friction necessary to produce lather
with bar soap has produced blisters
on his velvet palm, and in order to
preserve the silken surface he Is COM
PEELED to resort to the soft soap of
domestic manufacture. 1t Is to be
regretted, as he might have secured
good DOODLE for hearty testimonial.
The most expressive and oompre-
hensiye manner of portraying the
state of political affairs in Audubon
county, is in the stereotyped phrase,
"the political eauldroR is beginning
to seethe." Republicans, however,
are active in the interests ofthe party,
in harmony and united for victory.
In the party is found complement
of aspirants for honors, but all will
abide the decisions of the convention
and emerge from its counsels in sup.
port of the chosen representatives.
1t is encouraging that all who court
the peoples favor are men al good
character and credit to the party.
